13. In today's digital era, almost every business has
automated its organizational structure and is shifting
towards digital operations. Although this does provide
an array of different benefits, it also paves the way for
cyber-attacks.
If you think about it, all the business' data is stored on
servers, including confidential information regarding the
company, its operations, and its clients.
If a hacker manages to gain access to such information,
they can seriously deter the organization's functioning in
every aspect. One successful hack can lead to the
foreclosure of a business, especially if the hack is made
public or is targeted towards client data.
Put yourself in your client's shoes. Would you ever invest in
a business that does not effectively employ cyber security?
Would you share any personal information with a company
if you know that they cannot protect your information?
Even if your business has the best computers, top servers,
or cloud service solutions, one attack can make all this
meaningless. If a hacker manages to infiltrate a system, they
will gain access to the entire network, and your business
will be at their disposal.
The answer is quite simple! Instilling reliable IT security
has now become a prerequisite in today's digital era. And
when it comes to implementing these solutions, Cybervault
Securities Solutions Pvt. Ltd. shines out in the cyber
security niche as a leading provider of IT security and
services to all levels of corporations.
Cybervault helps its clients and customers to protect their
critical data from attackers/ malicious users by identifying
vulnerabilities in their network and applications.
Moreover, the company provides detailed reports
suggesting recommended fix that helps the application
owner understand the root cause of the problem to fix it
quickly.
The Commencement
Cybervault was founded by the visionary leader Mr Anil
Raj after extensive experience in Information Security
spanning many years with various multi-nationals.
Cybervault was founded as a core IT Security Service
Company.
India's Leading Cyber Security Companies
When I graduated with BTech 14 years back,
cyber security was a relatively new field. Very
few ventured into this field due to the nascent
stage it was in at that time. Even during that
time, I had a keen interest in computer
networking subjects that forms the core
backbone of information security.
I started my first job in the IT world in the
Computer Networking domain and slowly
graduated to cyber security out of pure interest
and the vast area of interests it offered.
I have always loved to find vulnerabilities in the
Network and Applications. Research, Analysis,
and Development were my Forte, and cyber
security gave me the perfect platform to
implement it. I started to develop a keen
interest in my cyber security findings and took
up initiatives of conducting workshops in
colleges in Aurangabad where I was doing my
first job.
I received a massive response to this workshop
which catapulted my confidence in my
capabilities and projected me as a great orator
with exceptional expertise over the
fundamentals of the topics. My name and
article were featured in the newspaper the next
day, and my popularity grew manifold.
I started my journey in this domain as a trainer
and moved on to become a corporate trainer
in a short time. My concepts reached such a
level of professionalism that my organization
put me up on performing corporate cyber
security audits and assessments.
My strong training fundaments helped me grow
manifold, and my career in this domain was
cemented.
I always attribute my success to all the
students who showed their confidence in me
and my seniors in the initial days who stood for
me. Risk, compliance, and forensics are other
areas that have been of keen interest to me.
14. A company
becomes a brand
when people
recognize its
achievements at a
global level
15. Expressing his goals behind establishing Cybervault, Mr
Anil expressed, "The main idea behind starting the
company was to bridge the gap between the industry and
requirements and smart technological solutions."
"We started promoting the company by contacting various
companies and agencies for promoting our services. Brick
by brick, the company started taking shape. The company
soon moved to a bigger premise in 2015," he added.
To diversify its operations, Cybervault started a separate
training division by being an Accredited Training partner to
EC-Council USA, which has a global presence in 142
countries. Cybervault was always focused and consistent in
delivering outstanding quality.
In 2017, the company moved to a bigger premise. The
client base kept increasing - from IT companies to
manufacturing companies, designing companies to
production companies, financial companies, and
cooperative banks.
Cybervault had a diverse client base with an increased
client base in PAN India locations. The core competence
was always on delivering the best service. Highlighting the
key issues and securing its client's data or applications,
thereby saving their money and reputation, led to the
success of Cybervault.
Hard work and efforts were combined and directed in a
productive way to highlight the findings, analyze the
results, and give apt recommendations to the clients. With
such a rapidly increasing market presence in the field of
Security, Cybervault is emerging as a brand to bank upon.
Mr Anil believes in - "Strong foundations are the key to
huge success.”
Hence step by step and client by client, the company grew
and continues to grow, establishing bigger benchmarks in
the cyber security space.
The Legacy
Cybervault provides various IT security services:
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT),
Web application Testing, Wi-Fi Testing, Mobile Application
Testing, Cyber Forensics Audit, and Information Security
Audits.
All above audits are mandatory under ISO
27000/HIPPA/FISMA/SOX norms hence done as a
mandatory IT security compliance.
VAPT helps identify vulnerabilities in the IT network of the
organization. This is done using specialized software tools
in both manual and automated approaches. The results are
analysed, and suitable patches are suggested to secure the
network from attacks. Patching ensures smooth working of
IT Network.
Cybervault has a team of experienced and certified
professionals. Web App testing finds vulnerabilities in
software applications deployed over the internet. Web
Applications testing is critical where payment gateway,
exchange of confidential data, or access to critical
confidential data are involved.
Similarly, mobile application testing is also performed over
iOS, Android, and Windows applications using the mobile
platform. Information security audit provides
recommendations consistent with compliance and industry
practices. Cybervault has a cyber forensics investigation
team for Cybercrime and recovery cases.
Cybervault is also one of the best institutes in Pune,
providing CEH, Ethical Hacking, and other information
security certifications training with a high success rate and
100% placement.
Cybervault is an authorized training center for EC-Council
Certifications, which is an international certification body in
the field of cyber security. The company helps its customers
with integrated services for their core business operations
by offloading their IT infrastructure management.
Cybervault not only delivers service to its client, but also
establishes a long-term relationship.
The list of national and international clients represents the
legacy of Cybervault's Quality and success.
A Visionary Leader
Mr Anil Raj, Director, Cybervault, is a leader, a creative
thinker, a modernizer, and a tech-savvy person who has
founded Cybervault Securities Solutions Pvt. Ltd. after
getting an extensive technical experience from top MNCs.
He has a diverse background that includes network and web
application Security, Penetration Testing, Forensics,
training, and regulatory compliance methodologies.
16. Having performed a number of penetration tests assessing
well over 10,000 hosts in the Industry, Mr Anil has had
considerable hands-on IT Security experience of consulting
and lecturing, whether for Government Agencies, Telecom
Companies, or Financial and international companies.
Mr Anil is imminently qualified in his field. He holds a
string of professional qualifications in Networking, to name
a few [MCSE, CCNA, Network+) and IT Security
(Security, Diploma in Information Security), CEH
(Certified Ethical Hacker), LPT (Licensed Penetration
Tester)] besides an Engineering degree in Computer
Science.
He has featured in various newspapers like The Times of
India, Pune Mirror, Mid-Day, Sakal, DNA, and many more.
Mr Anil has a specialized domain expertise workforce
working for various clients globally. He envisioned
Cybervault as a platform to merge innovation and creativity.
Passion for technology and dedication has helped him
create a gem in the field.
Mr Anil firmly believes, "Dedication coupled with
inspiration leads to Innovation."
He strongly believes that every dream can be lived with
firm determination and dedication. He has always been an
ardent leader, whether during his academic days or his
professional career.
Setting A Benchmark of Professionalism
Over the years, Cybervault has evolved as a brand. A
company becomes a brand when people recognize its
achievements at a global level. Cybervault has a long
journey of nine years where its team catered to multiple
clients from diverse backgrounds and locations – in India
and abroad.
Team Cybervault did some prestigious Information Security
Audits where the clients were banks and multi-national IT
companies.
Some audits involved clients from manufacturing and
production sectors where cyber security awareness is lower
than in the IT domain. Mr Anil felt that if he could make
this sector aware of the need for cyber security audits, then
he could truly excel in his work.
Apart from a certified and experienced task force, which
everyone maintains, the main USP of Cybervault is the
customization of service to suit the need of the hour and
scenario.
Team Cybervault does not believe in offering generalist or
standardized solutions which are generated by automated
tools. They analyze the customer issues and provide them
with a set of relevant solutions to eliminate or reduce their
threats.
No system is 100% secure as threats and attackers are
constantly evolving newer and newer ways to gain
unauthorized access. Correct and directed solutions by a
team of professionals with an in-depth understanding of the
problem do eliminate the risk, though.
Another key aspect is its cost-quality balance. Team
Cybervault never overcharges its customer for its expertise
but, at the same time, they do not compromise the quality of
deliverables.
Cybervault has
always delivered
the best quality and
skilled staff to its
esteemed
customers
17.
18. The cost-effective services of Cybervault with a focus on
quality and transparency backed by solid projects make it a
force to reckon with in the industry. Also, the transparency
of these services ensures that its customers get the very
best.
Cybervault has always delivered the best quality and skilled
staff to its esteemed customers. The company has always
emphasized the quality of deliverables and never conducted
business based on low pricing.
Quality has been the focus always. Moreover, Cybervault
keeps total transparency with its clients, which has built
their trust with the company. This has translated to the
growth in client list year after year – be it in terms of new
clients or existing ones.
Cybervault's team of professionals from all walks of IT
security brings along a wide scale of experience and
expertise. All this coupled under one roof replenishes the
customers with the best of everything. It leaves no reason to
go anywhere else, as the customer can simply offload their
complete IT security requirement.
Cybervault has always worked on customer feedback with
its prompt technical assistance.
These two critical factors have helped to re-invent the
relationship between client and vendor every time with a
renewed sense of work enthusiasm and commitment.
Cybervault also provides customized and personalized
service which suits the customer requirement perfectly in
harmony with his needs
Cybervault has always believed in offering 'Quality' to its
customers. This quality has been followed in the quality of
its services, quality of the deliverables, professionalism of
its staff, and numerous other factors. Along with quality,
Cybervault management has always emphasized flexibility
in customer service.
They have followed a customer-centric approach where the
customer and his needs were always the priority. Affability
was and is always a prime factor that helped Cybervault
stay as close to its customers as possible.
Transparency is always maintained, which helps the client
to trust Cybervault easily. All these factors have always
helped Cybervault be near its customers and establish a
healthy business relationship with them.
Pearls of Wisdom
Sharing his opinions on how cyber security is crucial today
and what advancements we can expect in the future, Mr
Anil said, "Security measures are of prime importance to
ensure safety and reliability of organizations."
"Security breaches have become a common problem for
organizations globally. The losses because of these are
severe and huge, and hence organizations are becoming
more and more aware and taking all the possible measures
to curb these issues."
"The attacks such as the recent ransomware attacks - Petya
and WannaCry are a testimony to the fact of rising cyber
security issues globally. Lack of awareness is the cause of
these attacks; hence organizations need to make their
employees more and more aware.”
Cybervault not only
delivers service to
its client but also
establishes a long-
term relationship
19. "Most medium-level to large-level organizations have
started following the global norms of IT infrastructure like
ISO 27001, HIPPA for the health care industry. These are
all globally acclaimed bodies issuing strict guidelines for IT
infrastructure, from implementation to security
perspective," he added.
Mr Anil also expressed, "The organizations going for these
audits are increasing day-by-day. Earlier organizations were
skeptical on spending for IT security.”
"But the trend is slowing changing now. Most of the
organizations are going for IT Security Audits on a
quarterly basis - a much-needed audit for any organization,"
he added.
Sharing the facts and shedding light on the industry
scenario, Mr Anil stated, "Organizations are spending more
on Intrusion Detection devices. The need and necessity for
firewalls are increasing day-by-day and organizations do
not look back to spend on them. Emphasis is on increasing
stricter security policies, right from better passwords to
more secure networks and security policies.”
"Since the user is the weakest link in the technical chain,
technical audits and measures alone are not sufficient. It is
being observed that more and more companies are going for
employees who are certified and aware of cyber security
and regulated for smooth network activity," he added.
Sharing his advice for the aspirants who are willing to
venture into the field of cyber security, Mr Anil mentioned,
"New entrants need to be highly motivated and focus only
on the quality of their services. They should never
compromise work deliverables as the responsibility for the
security posture of client lies with them."
"Any lacking or discrepancy in their work is directly going
to reflect the work quality they offer and thus compromise
the client's security at a larger perspective.”
"Keeping transparency with your customers makes a huge
difference. Customers appreciate honesty and transparency,
as this inspires their confidence in you and your brand.
Nourishing the brand is more important than creating the
brand as it makes your business model a sustainable one.
Ultimately this leads to business success."
"New aspirants and entrants should be focused on skillset
and certifications to back their skillset. All this clubbed
along with industry experience make their entrepreneurial
journey a potent success."
"Cyber security has a vast scope. A strong skillset is the
essence of a successful venture which will yield a name for
new entrants willing to make it big in this domain," said Mr
Anil.
Aiming for a Limit-less Future
Currently, many organizations are catering to various
clients, including multi-national companies and companies
in India.
At the same time, Cybervault is also doing a lot of projects
for cooperative banks and other financial institutions where
information security audits hold key significance as per ISO
and other compliance.
Mr Anil wishes to diversify his organization to public sector
projects where certain statutory and regulatory compliances
are essential. Hence fulfilling those compliances is his
current goal, and he envisions to cater to a larger sector of
the industry by boosting his skills and expertise to that
level.
"In cyber security, every day is a learning experience, and
we need to add value to our brand by making ourselves
more and more competitive. This adds a unique dimension
to our organization and gives the best to our customers,,"
expressed Mr Anil.

22. The
between
Social Networking
and Digital Safety
Relationship
he time of physical social networks is a passe now.
TWelcome to the era of digital social networking.
The boon and popularity of social networking
websites keep increasing among youngsters, teenagers,
young and even old adults.
On the one hand, these are the perfect platforms for
connecting with friends, disconnected family, relatives,
peers, colleagues, and even personal and professional
strangers.
However, on the other side, it exposes your personal,
professional, and confidential info to the unscrupulous
elements increasingly active on such websites. This is
where digital safety and security risks arise abound.
There has always been a dark side to each and every
human endeavour from the dawn of the discovery of fire.
The same is with any new technology, including recent
social and digital media developments.
Thus, blaming technological advancements or scientific
developments for the deteriorating social morale in the
digital space is like treating a stomachache by rubbing a
balm on it and then blaming the balm for its ineffectiveness.
Whether the relationship between homo sapiens and its
most distant ancestral reptilians or social networking and
digital safety, both cyber-criminals and their victims were
and are always humans.
Nature of The Social Networking Threats
Social networking websites (digital platforms) or apps
differ in their purpose. Some have a purely social purpose,
letting you connect with people of similar interests, likes,
tastes, and lifestyles.
Vital Connection
20 | February 2022 | www.insightssuccess.in
24. Other allows for more personal and romantic or
professional connections and networking. However, one
common thing in each of them is that they all ask for your
personal information in detail, including your financial data.
Now many of them have advanced security features and
systems in place to safeguard your data and information,
but many other simply does not have enough dough or even
intent to ensure that your data is safe or not once you give it
to them.
There are also the third kinds of these social networking
entities, whose sole innate intention is of skimming and
scamming you. And many a time, they do it using third
party connections and contacts so that you never come to
know that they are behind the entire trap.
The most common threats such websites, apps, and
platforms pose are data, info, and identity theft, financial
skimming and scamming, blackmail, extortion, kidnapping,
child trafficking, child and women molestations, social
shaming and blaming for the crimes you have not
committed, human trafficking etc.
Although these all come under the extensive category of
cybercrimes, and there are laws, rules and regulations to
approach in any and every case, it might be wise to follow
the age-old wise philosophy that prevention is better than
cure.
Tips for Your Protection
Conservative Approach – It is better to post less personal
info on any and all social networking websites. And before
putting your info blindly, it would be wise to check for the
credentials and legality of those websites, apps, and
platforms in the first place. Avoid putting such info like
address, contact number, or your schedules, routines and
financial details.
Be mindful of the internet as a public place – Do not treat
your personal info (photos, profiles, blogs, articles,
opinions) as trash so that you will put it on every corner of
the web. More than it is a public place, the world wide web
has a dark side called the darknet.
And now, the darknet has its own niche called the social
darknet. It is a dangerous place out of the reach and
purview of legal authorities, where all the antisocial
elements wander with complete anonymity and control. Be
wary of it.
Careful of strangers - The web is the best place for people
to hide or misrepresent their identities, intent and motives.
For example, during instant messaging, chat rooms, and
even VC sessions, try to limit what you say and how you
say it.
Similarly, you should restrict the access of people who can
contact you or not. And in the case of communicating with
strangers, be extremely cautious about what you discuss
with them digitally or agree to meet physically.
Do not be Naive – Being Naïve is another thing than being
ignorant. Social media is littered with fake news, fake
events, and all kind of fake or even false information. Thus,
it is better to cross-check and verify before trusting
whatever you read online.
There are armies of hackers and anti-social people whose
sole purpose (often it is their paying job) is to post false or
misleading info about every topic.
Safeguard your settings – Social networking sites' privacy
settings comes in handy when you want to safeguard
yourself. Thus, it is better to put only such info you wish
the public to see.
The Last Word
It is always best to have updated, secure and safest OS,
Browsers, and IT Systems in place so that you and your
info remain digitally safe, keeping you socially active and
relaxed. Also, restricting yourself while surfing social
networking sites will keep you out of harm's way. Be safe,
stay safe, digitally.

26. The Game Changers in Cyber Security
As the digital world expands,
threats of cyber-attacks are
increasing in density. There
are over two-thousand attacks daily.
The most common industries targeted
by the attackers (hackers) are small and
medium enterprises, healthcare,
government agencies, energy
companies, and higher educational
institutes.
It is always a big issue for industries,
big or small, that who will provide
them with professional cyber security
solutions and penetration testing
services in the area of specialised web
application penetration testing,
network penetration testing, and
mobile application penetration testing.
This is where Cyber Security Hive
had entered the game to change the
playing field for all the most vulnerable
industries from India and the USA,
UAE, and the rest of the world.
Cyber Security Hive was started by two
cyber security experts, Akram and
Maaz; both are school friends and have
been in the cyber security industry for
more than ten years and collectively
carry twenty years of experience in
different areas of cyber security.
Akram Khan
CEO and Co-founder
27. When both met and realised, they had a
common goal and vision in the cyber
security industry, they decided to form
the Cyber Security Hive to make the
digital world a more secure and safer
place.
In an interview with Insights Success
for ‘India's Leading Cyber Security
Companies-2022’, the marshalling
Leader, CEO and Co-founder,
Akram Khan, of this cyber protector
organisation from Bengaluru, India, is
speaking in detail about his company’s
gameplan.
During his ten-year tenure, Akram
Khan worked with Amazon, Deloitte,
and other startups. Since Akram has
worked for the biggest organisations,
he understands the complete cyber
security ecosystem. He and Maaz and
their team of cyber security experts can
successfully provide customised
solutions and personalised services to
clients depending on the size and scale
of organisations.
Major tactics of their gameplan are
produced below for your business.
Please describe Cyber Security Hive
in detail.
Cyber Security Hive is a five-year-old
company based out of Bangalore. We
provide end to end cyber security
services specialising in vulnerability
assessment and penetration testing. We
provide cyber security services ranging
from VAPT, Security operations centre,
phishing simulation and awareness
training, endpoint security, etc.
Cyber Security Hive has a vast client
base from enterprise customers, SMB,
start-ups and has helped them solve
multiple cyber security problems they
have been facing in their organisations.
Cyber Security Hive is also becoming
a product-centric company by
launching its very own fully managed
vulnerability management
platform(threatscan.io). A client can
request an on-demand penetration
testing with Ai based support
technology, zero false positives, online
and offline reports, and threat score of
your application. It currently supports
only web applications, and we will
soon add support for network and
mobile applications.
What are the USPs that highlight
CSH as a leading name in Cyber
Security Industry?
There are hundreds of companies in
India providing cyber security services.
Cyber Security Hive specialises in
penetration testing and managed
security services.
The approach we take to perform
penetration testing is quite different
from the standard approach. Our senior
pen testers develop a standard checklist
along with the latest vulnerabilities and
then perform checks based on the
checklist that covers the latest attacks
and OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities.
We also run our cost-effective security
operations centre as well where we
help small to large enterprises in
deploying a cost-effective SIEM
solution.
What are the immersive benefits of
the services/solutions you provide to
your clients?
Our specialisation is VAPT, where we
deliver the testing with multiple OSCP
certified resources along with a
detailed report of all the vulnerabilities
identified; we also deliver a checklist
of over 140 manual checks that we
would be performing on your
application along with all the technical
documentation we will also provide a
certificate that can be shown to the
companies that a valid penetration
testing has been performed and all the
vulnerabilities identified during the
testing are now closed.
For our security operations centre, we
do provide cost-effective open source
SIEM solutions with integrations with
JIRA and multiple and other ticket
solutions with shared and dedicated
SOC analysts, both L1 and L2. For
enterprise clients, we also deploy
enterprise SIEM solutions such as
Splunk, IBM Qradar, Logrythm, etc.
We also have made in India cost-
effective solutions that we can provide
to SMB organisations who would want
to stay on top of security.
What were the initial challenges
after venturing into Cyber Security,
and what are the challenges now?
Initially, when we ventured into the
field of cyber security, it was not easy
to gain clients’ trust with their
confidential information. After working
with many enterprise customers such

penetration
testing and

28. as Tata Technologies, Landmark group,
and Fairtrade, gaining trust became
easier as our portfolio increased.
Currently, we are constantly having a
problem of build management and
tracking their vulnerabilities with some
of our customers, and to solve this, we
are launching our own product called
threatscan.io, which can help clients
manage their vulnerabilities with
complete life cycle management of
vulnerabilities along with on-demand
pen-test, retest, interactive dashboards,
and human-AI based support.
Being an experienced leader, share
your opinion on how Cyber Security
is crucial today and what
advancements we expect in the
future?
With everything becoming digital these
days, I cannot emphasise how
important cyber security is currently
and how important it is going to be in
the near future.
According to the statistics from
security magazine, there is a cyber-
attack every 39 seconds, which means
2200 attacks every day. Hackers are
developing new techniques to perform
phishing. Viruses are getting more
intrusive; DDoS attacks are bringing
hundreds of websites down.
From a future standpoint, I think that
AI will definitely play an important
role in cyber security. For example, a
new signature of a virus could be
detected easily by AI before an anti-
virus company marks the signature as a
virus and flags it. I also see a lot of
revolutionary AI-based VA tools which
can reduce human intervention in the
industry.
What would be your advice to the
aspirants who are willing to venture
into the field of Cyber Security
services?
Cyber security is a competitive market.
Unless and until you provide fabulous
services at a cheap rate in the Indian
territory, it would be tough to crack the
Indian market. From my perspective,
cyber security is a saturated market.
Although if you would want to enter
into the cyber security industry, it
would be wise to develop a cyber
security product that would help solve
a problem.
What is the future roadmap for
Cyber Security Hive and what
innovations can we expect in the
future?
I would be happy to announce that we
are coming up with our very own next-
gen AI-based vulnerability
management platform. We would be
providing managed vulnerability
management services or pen-test as a
service.
You would easily manage your pen-
test, track vulnerabilities, generate
online and offline dashboards and have
a human-based approach towards
penetration tests. Our team manages all
of this and much more at the Cyber
Security Hive. For more information,

35. The Evolution
of
Cyber Security
Solutions
hat began as a harmless joke in 1970 soon
Wbecame the world's first cyber-attack. It gave
crime-world its new niche, cyber-criminality.
Since then, cyber-attacks have evolved by using threats
such as phishing attacks, malware, ransomware etc.
Or according to a security magazine, hackers (cyber-
criminals) attack every thirty-nine seconds on an average.
In short, cyber-crime is outnumbering other crimes in this
regard.
Thus, the world, too, learned that the greater cyber-
connectivity needs the greatest cybersecurity. And the
cybersecurity industry had been evolved alongside the
cybercrime industry.
Now, it is essential to understand their origin and history
together as they race into the future, to outpace each other.
The Origin and Brief History of Cyber-Criminality
In early 1970, a BBN Technology's engineer, Bob Thomas,
created Creeper Code, a software program that moved
across the computers while displaying the message 'I am the
creeper: catch me if you can!'
It was a joke countered humorously by Bob's colleague Ray
Tomlinson who created Reaper Code, a program that would
duplicate itself while travelling from one computer to
another. Soon Reaper Code eliminated Creeper Code, and
the joke and its counter joke began the annoying history of
cybercrimes.
Nineteen years later, in 1989, Robert Morris created Morris
Worm to gauge the internet's dimension. The worm, the first
of its kind of DoS (Denial-of-Service) attack, slowed down
each computer it infected by attacking it as many times as
required to make it crash.
Te Drive

36. Morris Worm nearly closed down the internet but was saved
by Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs)
developed in response. Robert was convicted under the
already created Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986.
Mainly concentrated on strategic cyber-warfare and
financial skullduggery, the post-1990s virus era saw the I
Love You and Melissa viruses that infected over ten million
PCs globally, crashed email systems, and cost millions of
dollars to the world.
The Birth and Rise of Cyberworld Protectors
The foundation for cyberworld security was laid down by
the originator of the internet or the ARPANET (Advanced
Research Projects Agency Network), combining its forces
with the U.S. Airforce and other institutions and developing
an advanced operating system.
Expanded from the Honeywell Multics Computer System's
security kernel, the new OS could detect, secure, protect,
and automate tools and techniques which would thwart the
possible security breaches and attacks.
With increasing cyber threats across the globe, the race to
develop cyber-security solutions known as Antiviruses
began. Thus, 1987 saw the coming of Ultimate Virus Killer
(UVK), antivirus NOD Version 1.0, and VirusScan.
These antivirus programs were simple scanners that
detected the sequence of the viruses' codes by executing
context searches. Many of these antivirus scanners
contained immunisers that would modify their code to make
believe viruses that the host they are going to attack is
already compromised.
However, as the army of viruses increased in their numbers
and number of attacks, the immunisers solution soon
became ineffective.
In 1988, alongside the antivirus, a firewall began to take
shape. It was termed packet filter firewalls, and it could
inspect the packets of data transferred across the internet.
The packets it found matching its rules will be rejected or
dropped.
Though the packets unmatching were termed viruses and
blocked. This simple yet effective solution soon became the
first security and defence line with highly technological
features. It has been extended since to the millions of
networks around the globe.
Race to the Safe Mountain
And as cybercriminals kept advancing in their techniques,
outsmarting the infantile antivirus solutions and firewall
weaknesses, the world felt the need for more advanced
security, detection and prevention solutions.
Businesses soon found out that recruiting IRTs (incident
response teams) was costly, and they needed better long-
term solutions which could safeguard their ever-increasing
mountain of data. It paved the way for enhanced
cybersecurity solutions.
As a strategy, cybersecurity's continuous monitoring helps
as a threat detection technique to maintain, comply with,
and support business norms and growth. Adopting this
strategy will allow greater threat identification and
detection of weaknesses within a system, network, devices
and software.
IDS or intrusion detection system is a highly effective way.
It is a software application designed to monitor networks,
constantly searching for threats, breaches, malicious
activities and policy violations. It collects all these
incidences and reports them using event management and
information security systems.
Managed cybersecurity solutions extend a company's IT
reach to non-IT departments using network security
processes. Frequent security threat assessment and audits,
IT protocol trainings, and strategic solution adoption are
some of the critical features of this service.
A Cyber-Secured Future
Cybersecurity frameworks are also being developed,
evolved, adapted, and implemented to identify, detect,
protect, respond, and recover the information or data lost.
The cyber-security expert should also leverage emerging
technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning,
and blockchain to expose the cybercriminals' playbooks and
outmatch them.
This way, we can safeguard the corporate and industry
future from future cyber-attacks and cyber-warfares.

What were the initial challenges
after venturing into Cyber
Security/Digital Forensics, and what
are the challenges now?
The initial challenge was a lack of
awareness even among the officers
about preserving electronic digital
evidence. Data acquisition without
hampering its integrity was a challenge
in the initial days. Still, later on, the
condition has changed. The people
inside the system are taking care to
retain data integrity and involve
experts from the beginning to acquire
digital evidence while working on
cases.
The cost of the commercial tools, lack
of skilled workforce, etc., are the
primary challenges that the cyber
forensics process face at any point in
time. The major challenge that we face
now is the pressure of little time and a
lot of data. For accurate results,
focused examination and data analysis
is required, which most of the time, the
pressure of fast submission of report
hampers the success rate to a great
extent.
Data encryption is another challenge
faced by digital forensics experts. The
methods used by the cybercriminals to
hamper, alter and remove traces of
evidence makes the investigation
process complicated. Along with the
technical challenges, there are legal
challenges also like the absence of
proper guidelines and the limitation of
the Indian Evidence Act 1872, which
collectively makes it really tough to
prove a point using digital evidence in
the court of law.
Being an experienced leader, share
your opinion on how Cyber Security
is crucial today and what
advancements can we expect in the
future?
Cyber security is critical because it
safeguards all types of data against
theft and loss. Due to the digitalisation
move, every transaction is done,
including financial data, sensitive data,
personally identifiable information,
personal information, intellectual
property, data, and governmental and
industry information systems all fall
under the category of sensitive data
and need to be secured.
AI and machine learning have made
significant contributions to the
advancement of cyber security.
Machine learning is being used to
identify malicious behaviour from
hackers by modelling network
behaviour and improving overall threat
detection. Hackers are becoming more
skilled at finding holes and cracks in
corporate security systems and gaining
access to protected files and data as
technology advances, posing a
significant cyber security threat.
While hackers are getting skilled, we,
the cyber warriors, need to be more
vigilant, knowledgeable and proactive
to defend any new cyberwarfare they
formulate. Most universities and
educational institutions offer
cybersecurity-related courses and
training programs along with their
regular syllabus. This can make an
army of young minds equipped with
accurate digital techniques that can
make our cyberspace a safe one soon.
What would be your advice to the
aspirants who are willing to venture
into the field of Cyber Security
services?
Cyber security and digital forensics are
the most exciting and promising career
options of the time. If you are trained
under a knowledgeable mentor and are
passionate enough to practice
rigorously, you can succeed in this
domain as a resource. Hands-on
experiments with data and finding new
solutions for existing IT challenges
will definitely open new doors of
opportunity for you. Invest your time
in polishing your skill sets, utilising
your technical talent for the betterment
of your country. Contribute your efforts
to making India a safe cyberspace.
